Shoe Out

Saw Nirvana live in Jacksonville, Florida, November 26, 1993, at the Morocco Shrine Auditorium. Was a great show.

But the thing I remember most about it is that The Breeders opened for them and some idiot “fan” threw a shoe at Kim Deal and it hit her in the breast. The show was stopped. Courtney Love came out and started screaming at the shoe-thrower and the fans in general for being disrespectful.

If I remember correctly, The Breeders did not play any more songs (and I don’t blame them), but Nirvana did their full set and it was pretty great.

Sigh

Believe science! Our experts are nearly worthless.

Lockdowns work if:

  • They start early.
  • There is high social trust.
  • There is enforcement.
  • There is light at the end of the lockdown tunnel.
  • They are mostly done in warmer months.
  • Most people are fairly healthy/non-obese.
  • There is not tons of political polarization.

So, in the US, and many other places lockdowns de facto do not and cannot work no matter what kind of cool science shows that they do under ideal conditions.
